In response to Commissioner Adams'question,Mr. Keating stated that the population is <br />based on just over two people per household within the urban service area. <br />Ms. Knauer asked for a retraction in the paper as far as the statements made in the Press <br />Journal. <br />Chairman Macht replied that they couldn't retract what has been said. The comments <br />were mainly based on how developments are approved and he felt there is nothing to keep that <br />subdivision from blossoming. <br />Commissioner Adams proceeded to explain that the Board is not responsible for the <br />printing of the article. She explained the article was written by the reporter for the newspaper. <br />Discussion continued and Ms. Knauer pursued her point that the article would be a <br />hindrance to a property owner trying to sell their property in Heron Crest and asked if there was <br />anything that could be done to help them. <br />Chairman Macht expressed his apologies for hurting anyone's feelings but did not believe <br />that yesterday's article would prevent someone from buying in Heron Crest. He said there was <br />nothing that this workshop could do. He ended the discussion since there was no solution to be <br />reached. <br />Ms. Willie Miller, 1470 5th Avenue SW, said letters to the editor go a long way and <br />suggested that they make calls to the radio shows. She said Indian River County is still being <br />developed and we all have to be concerned and diligent and she thanked the Board for their <br />efforts. <br />Mr. Gross explained that the evaluation was based on a particular philosophy and he felt <br />to have taken a portion of that evaluation and say that a subdivision is not desirable is not right. <br />Chairman Macht called for a brief recess at 10:40 a.m. The Board reconvened at 10:49 <br />a.m. with the same members present. <br />JUNE 13, 2003 <br />
